When both sides are evenly matched, even if one side is determined to fight to the death while the other side is thinking of retreating, the former's goal is destined to be unattainable.

Lin Jinglong frowned as he watched helplessly as the divine power took Lin Ruchu away, while Chen Bagu was not so lucky; he was left behind to cover their retreat.

A look of resentment appeared on Chen Bagu's face.

"Master, do you mean I should die in your place?"

"Fool, you just take those three zombies and hold them off for a moment, and your master will be back to save you right away!"

Zhang Shentong had other goals.

He couldn't possibly leave his life here.

After he ran away, he took Lin Ruchu with him. Chen Bagu, who was a step slower, was not so lucky.

Chen Bagu's eyes grew increasingly angry and resentful.

Why should Lin Ruchu be rescued while I have to stay behind to cover their retreat, saying that I just need to buy some time?

However, if he were to be besieged in this situation, there would be no Blood Fiend Source to save him, since this is not Tianlang City.

It is a place outside Sirius City, where demonic energy is deeply entrenched!

He turned to look at Lin Jinglong and the others, thinking of taking Shi Qiansui and the other two zombies and escaping from another direction.

"Cover the rear? My ass!"

He almost cursed under his breath.

But at that moment, the divine power seemed to have seen through his thoughts, and its voice came from afar.

"Don't forget, when we were fighting before, you weren't really putting in any effort. Did you really think I couldn't see that?"

"If you don't stop, you might as well live."

"I'll make you wish you were dead!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Bagu's face turned pale. He realized that Zhang Shentong's true nature was about to be revealed. When he was learning the Heavenly Demon Reincarnation Technique from Zhang Shentong, the other party had been quite strict.

Later, when he achieved the Great Perfection of the Heavenly Demon Reincarnation Technique, the other party did not pressure him too much. However, if he dared to disobey Zhang Shentong, the consequences would be self-evident.

He was pale as he faced Lin Jinglong and the others.

Shi Qiansui, standing beside him, said in a trembling voice, "City Lord, we must fight to the death now!"

"This is all my bad luck. If I hadn't agreed to teach Lin Ruchu the Heavenly Demon Reincarnation Technique, things wouldn't have turned out this way."

Chen Bagu also understood that if he stayed behind to cover the retreat this time, he would probably face a nine-out-of-ten chance of death!

Lin Jinglong and the others realized that they could not catch up with Zhang Shentong, so they could only let him take Lin Ruchu away, and their main target became Chen Bagu.

There were seven people in total, all watching him intently.

Chen Bagu forced a smile and said in a low voice, "Why don't we talk? I still hope to cooperate with the Elders' Council. I have always wanted to join the Ten Clans of Heavenly Dao."

"It is precisely because of our admiration for the prestige of the Elders."

His eyes were filled with fear and horror.

Under the combined attack of these seven people, he was already unable to hold on, while they once again obtained a large amount of heavenly secrets, and their strength increased by one or two levels.

He was no match for him!

Needless to say, the more severe Lin Jinglong's injuries, the stronger his combat power became. In this snowy and windy place, Lin Jinglong's combat power had been elevated to an unimaginable level.

After hearing Chen Bagu's pleading voice.

Lin Jinglong snorted coldly.

He strode forward.

The demonic claws were already reaching for Chen Bagu's face.

"If only I had known this would happen, why did I do it in the first place?"

"kill!"

Lin Jinglong let out a low growl.

This time, the other six people around him blocked the three flying zombies, including Shi Qiansui, while Lin Jinglong faced Chen Bagu alone.

After a high-intensity battle.

Lin Jinglong was exhausted, and although Chen Bagu hadn't put in much effort before, he was also quite exhausted. At this moment, he was under immense pressure facing Lin Jinglong.

His expression gradually turned fierce.

"I'll fight you to the death!"

"Bang!"

Before he could finish speaking...

Chen Bagu had already been blasted away by Lin Jinglong.

As it turned out, his talk of fighting desperately was just empty words; he had already bought enough time for Lin Ruchu and Zhang Shentong to escape.

After being blasted away, Chen Bagu tried to escape in another direction, but Lin Jinglong's figure appeared in front of him again.

"Didn't you say you were going to fight to the death? Why are you running?"

"Don't push your luck!"

"Go to hell!"

Lin Jinglong grinned maliciously at him.

The demonic intent and murderous intent emanating from him were mixed together, making him incredibly eerie and malevolent. When he made his move, the heavy demonic energy that swept up was even able to suppress Chen Bagu, who had cultivated the Heavenly Demon Reincarnation Technique.

In the midst of repeated battles, Chen Bagu gradually despaired, and ultimately failed to receive his master's rescue.

His injuries became increasingly severe.

He kept spitting blood.

His vision even started to blur.

Then he heard several screams and wails around him.

It was his three flying zombies, ancient zombies dug out from the desolate snowfield, that were now completely destroyed and fell to Tantai Yu and his group.

"City Lord!"

Before his death, Shi Qiansui let out a miserable scream.

But Chen Bagu himself was struggling to hold off the enemy, so how could he possibly rescue others?

"I hate it!"

Chen Bagu in the final moments of his life.

A deafening roar erupted.

His voice carried far and wide!

Zhang Shentong and his companion, who had already run far away, could even hear Chen Bagu's shouts.
